How can I improve my developer portfolio?

I've recently finished my portfolio and begun applying to entry level positions. I've been applying to front end job postings and I've made sure to create 4 solid projects that showcase my skills in front end development. I have a pathfinding Visualizer made with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. A chess AI made with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. A front end only website that uses React and Tailwind. And a wordle clone that works on mobile and desktop made in React. I have no educational experience or work experience but I feel like I have made great projects to showcase my skills. However no matter where I apply to (front end positions), I get declined. I've also made my portfolio website that showcases everything neatly. I always make sure to provide a live site link to all my projects along with the git repo. Are there other things I should be doing? Is there something I'm missing? Should I make other projects? More projects? Should I be learning different skills? Not being able to find a job has been quite demotivating lately as I've spent weeks making sure I had everything correct. Any advice would be appreciated as I've been developing some impostor syndrome and I'm not sure what to do at the moment.
